Hazardous Materials Cleanup in Kensington, NY: What Is Covered

Hazmat clean up is not the same as biohazard cleanup. Hazmat deals with chemicals, fuels and gases, while biohazard work deals with blood and germs. Some sites involve both, and crews plan for each.

If fuel, solvent or a chemical release has soaked into pavement, soil or a building in Kensington, you can get it cleared with care. Call Kensington Biohazard Cleanup Help for a tidy site and a clear plan for how waste is hauled in Nassau County.

Kensington receives about 45 inches of precipitation a year, and rain can wash spilled fuel and chemicals into ditches, drains and yards. Nassau County has a Relatively High river flood risk rating from FEMA, and floodwater can tip over tanks and drums and carry hazardous materials across a site.

A typical hazmat cleanup job includes:

Containment of fuel, oil, solvent and chemical spills so they do not reach drains or soil
Identification of unknown materials using labels, placards and safety data sheets
Collection of spilled product with absorbents, pads, socks and suitable tools
Removal of contaminated soil, gravel, flooring and debris from the release area
Summaries and photos for insurers, lenders, buyers and inspectors

1. Count and photograph

The team inventories every container, drum and spill area before touching anything. Photos record the starting condition for insurers and inspectors.

4. Hand over the records

Waste is hauled and the owner gets a list of what was removed. The crew explains what to keep for the file.
